hi,

facing a little problem with my mx700

i'll charge it overnight, and if i take it off the charger and use it for about 30 minutes, then just let it sit there idle for about an hour or two, the batteries will run out

never used to go that, i used to go 4 hours of straight intense gaming and the batteries would still be good to go

question: can i replace the batteries that came with it with new ones (Ni-MH as well of course), and if so, which do you recommend? thx

Yes you can put higher capacity batteries in it,but you will need tape the little switch down under the batteries or it wont charge,or allow current to flow from the batteries.
I have 2300mah ones in mine.

What little switch are you talking about?

The MX700 doesn't have a switch in it. The batteries are standard AA sized NiMH batteries. You can basically use any capacity you want.

Larger capacity batteries will take longer to charge however. I use 2500mAh batteries in mine, and they take nearly double the amount of time to charge than the factory 1600mAh set.
 
hey,

just replaced them with 2500mAh batteries and charging them, taking quite some time as you said

although, i just picked the mouse up to use it for a little something, and it feels quite warm to the touch, bad sign or should i not worry about it?
 
Batteries typically get warm while charing, espcially during the first few minutes.
